Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is trying to warn us about something. Are we listening? Jackson enters her fourth year on the supreme court on Monday. As its fiercest liberal voice wary of Trump’s growing power, she faces an intense battle ahead

Clarence Thomas didn't speak a word from the bench for 10yrs, waiting to unleash hell on the USA. Ketanji Brown Jackson has no need to be silent. She speaks truth about justice. May she have her time in the majority too. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

The U.S. Senate rejected a war powers resolution aimed at limiting Trump’s authority to carry out military action against Iran.

Democrat John Fetterman joined all Republicans in voting against the measure, while Republican Rand Paul sided with all Democrats in supporting it.

ICE is using a new facial recognition app, Mobile Fortify, to identify people in the field via smartphones—repurposing tech meant for border checks. Critics warn it’s unreliable, unauthorized by Congress, and ripe for abuse, fueling concerns over mass surveillance and wrongful arrests.

Archaeologists Accidentally Found the Incredible Lost Remnants of America's First Soldiers The Revolutionary War artifacts tell the story of what General Cornwallis tried to destroy forever—but couldn’t erase.

Very cool. Our Revolutionary Colonial soldiers deserve more recognition.
